Blancpain Endurance Race at Monza (W/C) 300km

Guys we are going to run tire/fuel at the normal setting. After 300km we would have picked up 200 liters on top of the 100 liters we start with, and so the pit stops would of been over a minute long. I was still game with this, but some drivers may not so instead of taking a chance we going to go the safe route with the normal tire wear setting. 👍

Im going to commit with the Panoz Esperante. Its up for share if you think I'm 'cheating'. You will see its a normal car. And I'll share my Fairlady Z as well.

Dude, who implied that you were cheating?(enter name here) No one as far as I know.. You just implied this yourself, unless you heard other wise. I've been running with you long enough to know you wouldn't pull something like this, but with someone who can manipulate settings for your cars, makes me and maybe a couple other's wonder. GT5 is putting an end to the car manipulator's. So i really doubt that anyone would jeopardize their online accounts and online capabilities to cheat. So, on that note, share your stuff, we will make the necessary checks before and after the races. 👍

As a steward in this league and in JSTC, this is just to warn everyone, I will not back down from what I said about cheating on the JSTC forum or any other forum.. It will not be tolerated here, there or any where else for that matter.

[adam46]

Sign me up for the full thing if you wish as I should be able to...

duke_adam46/adam46/Adam/Lamborghini Diablo... Anything else you need?

 

[Pluxtheduck]

I wish I could get a team mate in the Ford! It was hard battling the 3 Mazda team mates last night!

 

[TDZdave]

While its a spot race deal I might float around the Mazda, If it does go to a championship I may move to Ford,

Also Seth said about it be 2 people per car? I thought it was 3 per car? have I missed something?

 

[Pluxtheduck]

Yay, Dave in a team!

 

[TDZdave]

If/ when this series goes into a championship,

 

[memto89]

Joe sorry to be a pain in the arse but im gonna switch (for the last time this season) to the Zonda LM, i will be sticking with that car right the way through to the end of the series, also including monza race

 

[adam46]

Wait 2 people per car?

 

[TDZdave]

2 drivers per car maximum, doesn't mean you require a team mate, What I was led to believe is the maximum, Please wait for Joe to confirm,

@Memto, I was just looking at that, you kleft! are you trying to cut my lunch?

 

[RodeRuner1967]

Wait 2 people per car?

2 Sets of 2 Team Drivers per Chassis

I believe this means 4 cars of the same chassis, but 2 drivers per team. 2 teams per chassis.
I hope I got it right.

Are you really serious? Yesterday before the race began TDZ said if I got pole I was using an illegal car that was modified. I used the same car at Spa. And who made you king? Youre acting like the boss but the 'stewards' list includes me... You ask who called me a cheater then proceed to say I have someone to help me cheat Theres a whole thread dedicated to 'modified cars' on this site, so don't try to single me out but ignore the fact that thousands of users can go to GTP and find someone to help them.

 

[TDZdave]

Calm down mate I was only having a laugh, no actual meaning to it, I don't believe you would be the turkey that turns up to a legit series in an illegal car, seeing as you would be quite annoyed at someone who did that with yours,

@Tyson, I think that sounds right, But wasn't it only for the cars in which there was duplicates, The Playstation Audi and plain Audi, #91 and #51 dodge etc?

Adam I have you signed up already your good to go! 👍

Memto I don't mind you switching cars I would like everyone to drive some cars before this no comment series turns into a real series.

-I cant make my Jstc race this weekend so I will be putting the most practice I ever had into this Monza race. Having a dedicated team mate make the time worth while.

Not even worked up about it. Joke or not, no one wants to race a cheater! OR be labeled one. So just putting out there I've always followed the rules and regs. In fact I helped make the (car) regs. 👍

 

[joetruckv8]

Hitting 45's, but I know we need to hit 44's to survive!

Take it to PM's seth. You argu everything 👍
Just don't send one to me. I won't sit and debate or argu with you. I have better things to do.

So why reply? Not an argument when some states the truth, guy

 

[joetruckv8]

Look man all this back and forth for whatever reason has to stop. It seriously burning the spot. I have a ton pm's from drivers giving the thoughts and denial forms to anything I'm hosting with you envoled. Believe it or not I have defended you on numerous occasions. I don't even want to tell you what some drivers told me about what I should do. I get it you like to give your thoughts regardless if here bad or good and if someone doesn't like just don't post a reply. That would be fine but someone else is always going to reply because at this point a lot drivers are fed up. Also at this point its costing me hosting packed out series so I'm not telling you, I'm asking you can you only post positive things plz for the life of my series. I give you a lot of credit behind close doors but plz reply to guys via pm please! The same goes for comments to Seth. He will debt so hit em up about your thoughts via pm plz!

 

[freshseth83]

People bitch and complain cus I tell it how it is. I know some get pissed seeing me up front and when I show them what I feel is bs, some guys brush it off like they have no fault. I get labeled this and that and get a bad rep but why should I or anyone else care what people think?

Can you honestly say I've raced any of you wrong? Thats what matters! If people think I am bad or something they should say it to me. I don't hold grudges, no one on this forum gives a damn about me personally so lets keep it real and worry bout racing! I like racing you guys, this series. Just don't need the name calling or past to affect how we get on now, right? Professionalism is what I'm after. Maybe I just talk too much and should let **** ride, everything is rosy if we all give a little, myself included.

 

[joetruckv8]

^---Any comments to this send Seth a pm plz!

-Jstc as it being a series had a lot of spread sheeting to do so I will update our op with current points tomorrow night' 👍

Important News
We have 10 sign ups on the other Monza tread and that's not including Seth's choice yet so that only leaves 5 spots left. We have a bunch of drivers signed up for FIA GT Series but I don't know which are going to be racing next weeks event for sure. I would hate for more people to show up then what we have room for so If your planning on racing next week plz let me know so I can secure you a spot on the Blancpain Endurance Tread. driver who have signed up will have 1st priority! 👍

Joe, we have an event this Sunday? I know we have Dave's event early Saturday & JSTC after that.

 

[joetruckv8]

Naw we don't have a event this weekend. You guys have fun racing this weekend I wish I could be there. When you miss a race doing the real thing it doesn't seem so bad.

 

[freshseth83]

I said earlier in this thread I'm committing with the Panoz Esperante.

Push come shove joe if we get more then enough people to happily fill 2 rooms, we could do a split qualifying and divide the field, I'd happily run the second room,

@Seth, I wouldn't go as far to call you a dirty racer, overly aggressive at points yes, but not dirty, it could be connections/ lag or what ever,
I just put it down to the differences in downforce, the higher downforce cars willl always corner faster then the low downforce cars, and that is where a lot of the heavy bumping happens, I'm not singling you out here, I too am guilty of the burdons of having higher downforce, Tsukuba in the Bankfin series would be one example of mine,

 

[Pluxtheduck]

I'm going to just put in with a few comments about how I see the racing/overtaking at the moment:

I think what happens is that in the heat of the moment, we all are overly aggressive. I know I can be but I do try to make sure that mistake I make, I give it back straight away (see my slight collision with memto in the seocnd race at the bottom hairpin.) However, after watching the races back from all those that have been debating, that is something I haven't seen much of. No one here is willing to back down and let it go. This is what I think is causing the fighting, not the action itself but the fact no one will admit guilt and fix the problem themselves. I mean take this, last corner of the first race - I'm ahead slightly into it and Jonny is on the inside of me, as I come across to take my line he thinks he is further up my side then he is and therefore achieves the start of the classic PIT maneuver. However, he backs off and allows me to regain control of the car despite the fact he could have won the race if he kept his foot down and thought "sod him and his ridiculous Ford, I'm going to WAAC!" However he didn't...

This is something that IS NOT happening with other incidents, especially those into slower corners. There are seriously hard collisions taking place and no one is willing to admit a mistake and give the place back sportingly! I'm not saying any names or any incidents, but it happened time and time again in the race. There is also other non-sporting maneuvers taking place, such as weaving and blocking. This overly-aggressive defense is also causing issues as the overtaking driver cannot know where to place his or her car and feel confident they won't make contact... Its just spoiling the racing a little and next time out in Monza, I really need people to take a look at their style of driving and say "Hey, this is a 300KM race - I can take my time over this move," or even: "Hey, I don't need to make an aggressive move, I can just sit behind the other person and scare them into a mistake." This is something I was attempting to do to Jonny in race 1 and I don't know if it worked or not but I did get through cleanly after a couple of laps of pressurising...

Just my thoughts on the situation and all... I'm not accusing anyone in particular, I think all of us are a little guilty of it - including myself...

 

[TDZdave]

Agreed plux, Perhaps something we can take vfrom this is the old, 1 move only per straight rule,

Its worked in a variety of other series, lets try it on ours,
